A Pumpkin Patch Post

Every year (all three) we say, "We should dress up for Halloween." But then no one we know does a party and if you dress up in cool costumes but no one saw it did it really happen? This year is pretty much the same so we decided we'd carve pumpkins and watch scary movies on the 31st. Possibly with a couple friends, possibly without.

The pumpkin picking process took approximately 10 minutes. Then we tried to go to a food truck that serves award winning pulled pork (the one thing I truly adore about the south) but they were closed. So we went to a restaurant and had their pulled pork - it had not won any awards.

In other news, Dan had an interview yesterday. We are praying so hard for Dan to make it to the next round. It would just solve a lot of our problems, like, where are we going next? And, where should I apply to Law School?

I hope you all have a fun Halloween!

p.s. I lift those pumpkins like nobodies business. Yea, P90X! I am beefcake.

Just put on Lucinda, baby, and dance with me.

It's been a while. I was pretty frustrated/angry/sad after the LSAT. I moped for about 4 days and then threw myself into finishing the quilt top and starting P90X. 

Needless to say, not much to write about. I don't get my score back for a few more days. So, we'll see. 

So here are some iphone shots from the past few weeks. Enchilada soups, warm socks, and hot chocolate are the cure for just about any ailment. Even a sore pride. 

Frock-ful Friday

Well, tomorrow I take the LSAT. It's been a pretty stressful journey of studying and fretting about my final score. It's mostly stressful because I need a good enough score to get into a law school wherever we end up. It'll work out though, I'm sure. 

Also, I would like to clarify that the outfits I put up on Fridays are outfits I really wore but I really wore them probably a week ago. I just want to make sure you know. In the interest of full disclosure. 

Have a great weekend!

Insecurity and self-doubt.

I take the LSAT on Saturday.

I've been studying hard for 3 months now and I'm pretty beat by it. It's nice to only focus on one subject (kind of) but it has also been hard to stay focused and motivated when thousands of variations of the same question come before me and I still only get maybe 80% of them right.

It's also tiring because I just went backwards. I scored lower than I've been trending and it's scary.

(Disclaimer: I tend to stress about things that really don't matter in the long run, but there is no talking me out of the stress - I stress needlessly and I know it.)

It's scary because I want to get into law school. I want to get into a good law school. It's frustrating as well because I can't just throw out a bunch of applications all over the country and see if any big fish catch my line.

We are going where Dan gets a job. He's only applying to places that have a law school in the area but my options diminish severely depending on the area of the country we're in. In my mind this means I need to kick-ass on this LSAT. I need to get my foot in the door of every and any admissions office I can.

I'm sure my score right now would get me into law school. And I know it's pride that wants to be accepted into UCLA/Stanford/Berkeley. I'm going to have to let go of that.

I'm still working hard and I've got a few more days before I take this thing for real but I'm a bit discouraged. That's where I'm at today, in this process; I'm discouraged. I've placed a lot of pressure on myself and I'm afraid of disappointment.

I got some new hurr.
Inspiration came from the stunning Kate Beckinsale via Pinterest.

I really love it. I know I'm late to that whole ombre train but I love these blonde tips! Seriously, couldn't stop staring at it after my stylist dried it. She did such a great job.

It makes me want to curl my hair everyday but we know that'll last for all of three days.
